ধাতুগত বৈশিষ্ট্যঃ রোগী অপরিষ্কার, চর্মরোগ প্রবণ, পাতলা চেহারাযুক্ত, কুঁজো, অল্প বয়সে বৃদ্ধের ন্যায় আকৃতি, শরীর হইতে বিশ্রী গন্ধ নির্গত হয়। চলিবার সময় সোজা হইয়া চলিতে পারে না, একটু বক্র হইয়া চলে ।
Antidote food/ ঔষধের ক্রিয়ানাশক খাদ্য: কফি, কর্পূর, দুগ্ধ, তামাক ।
Antidote / ক্রিয়ানাশকঃ একোনাইট, ক্যাম্ফর, আর্সেনিক, ক্যামোমিলা, চায়না, কোনিয়াম, কষ্টিকাম, নাক্স ভোমিকা, মার্ক-সল, মার্ক-কর, পালসেটিলা, রিউম, সিপিয়া, সিফিলিনাম ।

- সেখানে উদ্ভেদ বা সক্রিয় ঘা রয়েছে, সেখানে ৩০ এর উচ্চশক্তির সালফার ব্যবহার করা ঠিক না, কেন না তা বৃদ্ধির কারণ হতে পারে –ডাঃ জে. এন. কাঞ্জিলাল।
- সালফারের আগে ক্যালকেরিয়া ও পরে লাইকো ব্যবহার নিষিদ্ধ –ডাঃ এলেন ।

Calcarea must not be used before Sulphur. Sulphur is the chronic of Aconite and follows it well in pneumonia and other acute diseases.
As to its relationship, Sulphurshould not be given immediately before Lycopodium. It belongs to a rotating group, Sulphur, Calcarea, Lycopodium.
First Sulphur, then Calcarea and then Lycopodium, and then Sulphur again, as it follows Lycopodium well. Sulphur and Arsenicum are also related.

§ Sulphurfrequently
serves to rouse the reactive power of the system, when carefully

JAMES TYLER KENT
Sulphuris such a full remedy that it is somewhat difficult to tell where to begin.
Hering called the Sulphur patient "the ragged philosopher."
In a sort of condensed way a strong Sulphur group is this: an all gone hungry feeling in the stomach at 11 A.M., burning of the soles and heat in the top of the head.
Discharges: The dischargesof Sulphurfrom every part of the body, besides being offensive, are excoriating.
Skin: The Sulphurpatient has all sorts of eruptions.
Burning: Wherever there is a Sulphurcomplaint you will find burning.
"Burning of the soles of the feet in the palms of the hands, and on the top of the head."
Many complaints come on from becoming warm in bed.
"Intermittent periodic neuralgia, worse every 24 hours, generally at 12 A.M. or 12 P.M."
One of the old men invented out of these things the keynote"drinks much and eats little."
Skin: There is an unhealthy condition of the skin in Sulphuraside from the eruptions.
Suppressions: It is a medicine often called for in the suppression of eruptionsfrom cold and from drugs, and even from Sulphur.
"Indisposed to everything, work, pleasure, talking or motion; indolence of mind and body."
"Satiety of life; longing for indolence of mind and body.''
"Satiety of life; longing for death."
"Too lazy to rouse himself up, and too unhappy to live."
"Dread of being washed (in children)."
Dr. Ernest Albert Farrington
· When the system refuses to respond to the well-selected remedy, it matters not what the disease may be, whether it is a disease which corresponds characteristically with the symptomatology of Sulphur or not, it will often be the remedy to clear up the case and bring about reaction, and either itself cure the case, or pave the way for another drug which will cure.
· Sulphur is frequently indicated in congestion of the chest with or without haemoptysis. There is great difficulty in breathing. The patient feels oppressed and wants all the doors and windows opened. These symptoms are accompanied with violent palpitation of the heart, that organ trying to compensate for the increased supply of blood to the thoracic cavity.
· As further evidence of the irregular distribution of the blood in Sulphur, we have redness of the various orifices of the body. This symptom is very characteristic of the remedy. The lips are of a rich red color.
· In marasmus of children you may give Sulphur when many of the symptoms already mentioned are present. The child is ravenously hungry, especially at 11 A.M. Now, in regard to this eleven o'clock hunger, I would say that if you want to use Sulphur successfully in these cases, you must also have these symptoms present: Hunger at 11 A.M., heat on top of the head and cold feet. If you have these three symptoms present, Sulphur never fails you. If there is heat on the top of the head alone, you must think of CALCAREA or PHOSPHORUS.
· Another affection of which I wish to speak under the head of the lymphatic system is tuberculosis, not that I wish to say that scrofula and tuberculosis are identical, but that the lymphatic vessels have considerable to do with the spread of tubercle. Sulphur is a valuable drug in tuberculosis, no matter what part of the body it may invade.
· It is especially useful in tubercular hydrocephalus. Here it has done good work, not in the third stage, when the case is nearly hopeless, but in the commencement of the pathological process when there are violent convulsions, sudden flushing of the face, the child cannot hold its head up from weakness of the cervical muscles. The child wants to lie with its head low. That symptom expresses a great deal, because when the head is low, there is less effort of the neck required to hold the head up. The child cries out in its sleep. Often, on falling off to sleep, there is sudden jerking of one or both legs. It cries out in sleep as if frightened. The face is red and the pupils are dilated.THIS IS NOT A CASE FOR BELLADONNA. BELLADONNA CANNOT, NEVER DID AND NEVER WILL CURE TUBERCULAR MENINGITIS. The symptoms tend to appear more or less periodically. Associated with these few cerebral symptoms you will have very many general symptoms, some of which I have already mentioned, and some of which will be. When I give you these symptoms in different groups, I do not wish to convey the idea that these symptoms indicate the drug only when they occur in their respective groups.
William BOERICKE
· This is great Hahnemannian anti-psoric. Its action is centrifugal-from within outward-having an elective affinity for the skin, where it produces heat and burning, with itching; made worse by heat of bed. Inertia and relaxation of fiber; hence feebleness of tone characterizes its symptoms.
· When carefully-selected remedies fail to act, especially in acute diseases, it frequently arouses the reactionary powers of the organism.
· Ebullitions of heat, dislike of water, dry and hard hair and skin, red orifices, sinking feeling at stomach about 11 am, and cat-nap sleep; always indicate Sulphur homeopathically.
· Standingis the worst position for sulphur patients, it is always uncomfortable.
· Dirty, filthy people, prone to skin affections. Aversion to being washed.
· Complaints that relapse. General offensive character of discharge and exhalations. Very red lips and face, flushing easily. Often great use in beginning the treatment of chronic cases and in finishing acute ones.
· Mind.--Very forgetful. Difficult thinking. Delusions; thinks rags beautiful things-that he is immensely wealthy. Busy all the time. Childish peevishness in grown people. Irritable. Affections vitiated; very selfish, no regard for others. Religious melancholy. Averse to business; loafs-too lazy to arouse himself. Imagining giving wrong things to people, causing their death. Sulphur subjects are nearly always irritable, depressed, thin and weak, even with good appetite.
Modalities.--Worse, at rest, when standing, warmth in bed, washing, bathing, in morning, 11 am, night, from alcoholic stimulants, periodically. Better, dry, warm weather, lying on right side, from drawing up affected limbs.

Calcarea must not be used before Sulphur. Sulphur is the chronic of Aconite and follows it well in pneumonia and other acute diseases.
As to its relationship, Sulphurshould not be given immediately before Lycopodium. It belongs to a rotating group, Sulphur, Calcarea, Lycopodium.
First Sulphur, then Calcareaand then Lycopodium, and then Sulphuragain, as it follows Lycopodiumwell. Sulphurand Arsenicumare also related.
